What do you love about being a barre{tender}?
Pulse is my happy place. I love EVERYTHING about it! For one, the people are INCREDIBLE. Everyone is so motivational and inspirational, so kind and always willing to have a good time...even through the shake! I love all of the barre{tenders} as well. We have such a fantastic team of amazing ladies! I also love barre "the workout" itself! It is mentally and physically challenging, and I LOVE when my muscles shake. There's nothing better than feeling the change happening in your body! I can't choose just one thing that I love about teaching. I love EVERY single aspect of it!!
Favorite Barre Position:
Anything thighs related! They don't call me the thigh master for nothing... ;)
Spirit Animal:
My spirit animal is definitely a unicorn. The mythical creature that is so exciting, intriguing, and makes everyone happy! I'd like to think that my ulterior unicorn self is white with a sparkly pink mane and a rainbow horn...but you know..that's just in a perfect world. Haha!
Hobbies:
I love to sweat! Running, yoga, hiking, biking, you name it..if I can sweat I'm THERE! I also love getting together with friends, and adventuring with my hubby!
Motivational Songs:
I love me some good salsa-y music

What do you love about being a barre{tender}?
I love having the ability to make workingout for others an opportunity for fun and improvement of one’s self rather than a daily chore.
Favorite Barre Position:
My favorite barre position is Fetal!!!! I did Fetal at my first barre class and it about killed me! What I like about it is that it is a really simple move to get set up in but intensifies quickly! Remember… Fetal is Fun!!
Spirit Animal:
I would say that my spirit animal is a dog (cliché I know). My yellow lab, Max and I are practically the same person…animal…mammal? We both love to bask in the sunshine, swim and we both get a little too excited when it comes time to eat our next meal. Max and I also both tend to eat too fast, are obsessed with playing games and most importantly love to get a sufficient amount of family time.
Hobbies:
I love to hike, mountain bike and play volleyball and tennis. I also love to play any sort of board game, card game, whatever kind of game, I’m game.
Motivational Songs:
Journey "Any Way You Want It"

What do you love about being a barre{tender}?
One word, camaraderie; The people and community is what makes Pulse Barre truly special. AND I get to do what I love- motivate, inspire, sweat, and help people accomplish their goals. I feel the same excitement going into the studio every week as I did my very first day. Barre is one workout I find to be challenging both physically AND mentally every time.

Favorite Barre Position:
Arms and Abs are my jam. So many variations and the results!
Spirit Animal:
Meerkat. Why? They are very social with tight knit family groups, energetic, curious and FUN.
Hobbies:
I love the outdoors and all the recreational activities this valley has to offer. I also enjoy working on house projects, entertaining family & friends and taking weekend trips with my Hubs.

What do you love about being a barre{tender}?
My favorite thing hands down are the amazing women that I get to see in every class. They are strong, funny, and some of the most fantastic women I’ve ever met!
Favorite Barre Position:
Reverse chair. I love getting to do it with everyone and see their goal faces while it’s happening without seeing it in the mirror.
Spirit Animal:
All the barre{tenders} are my spirit animals for so many different reasons:
Christy for her ability to be happy 24 freaking 7.
Steph R for easily being the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.
Holly for her humor and wit.
Stephanie W for taking on so much all the time and always killing it.
Taylor for being such an amazing new mommy.
And Paige for being able to read people so well and knowing just what to say.
Hobbies:
Is mom bossing a hobby??! Haha!!! I guess hobbies include hobby lobby adventures, my love of plants, the never ending remodeling of my home and having as much fun with my little humans as possible.
Motivational Songs:
JT all the way!!! I mean who wouldn’t pulse or tuck if he told them to?

What do you love about being a barre{tender}?
I love coming up with new ways to kick everyone's toosh!
Favorite Barre Position:
Heels together toes apart with the band for that outer thigh burn!
Spirit Animal:
Per the quiz I just took to figure this out, my spirit animal is a tiger. I am unpredictable, but trust my instincts, and I focus on my feelings. ;) haha!
Hobbies:
Music theater and dog wrangling

What do you love about being a barre{tender}?
I love watching clients during the final 10 countdown and they dig just a little bit deeper, they might want to give up right before that but when they hear the countdown they all try to do their best to make the final 10 the best of the day and that their bodies are capable of doing more than what they think they can.
Favorite Barre Position:
Wide second! I like to make it a challenge for myself to see if I can keep myself in the position just a little lower each time.
Spirit Animal:
My dog, loyal, sweet, protective of those she loves, and kinda weird haha, which sums me up in a nutshell.
Hobbies:
Cooking and baking, moreso cooking than baking, but I love both. I find it relaxing but really fun to try new recipes, and I typically use my friends as my guinea pigs for the new recipes, which none have them have ever seemed to mind. Haha! I also love staying active, so I do love to hike and paddle board, and go horseback riding.
Motivational Songs:
Anything PITBULL!
Taylor
What do you love about being a barre{tender}?
I love the energy and people at pulse! Every time I teach a class or take a class, I leave in a better mood! It is amazing! I never knew I could have so much fun getting my “seat” kicked!
Favorite Barre Position:
I am a huge fan of seated pretzel. I love seated pretzel because you’re seated so you feel like you are taking it easy and then after about 30 sec you realize your entire seat and side body are burning! I love when moves work more than one area on your body!
Spirit Animal:
If I could be any animal, I would be either one of my dogs. They are spoiled rotten and live this fabulous life! They go on vacation with us, they get to play outside all day, they get treats all day. Basically, I am super jealous of them and would like to have their lives!
Hobbies:
I love anything outside. Hiking, biking, and running. I also love having girls nights with the barre babes! And of course you can’t forget about shopping! :)
